The Diana Baby 110 is much more versatile than its earlier relatives -- for example, it has interchangeable lenses -- but it has one limitation. Although it has a PC connection on the top, it lacks a flash shoe, and with its fixed aperture of f8, a flash is a handy thing to have. Fortunately, there's just enough space on the top to attach a flash shoe:

Of course I needed an appropriate flash for the Diana Baby 110's features, and I found one. It's the Sunpak 121C. It's the same as the original 121, but put into a compact body. That's what the "C" means. It uses two AA batteries, and has manual and automatic exposure settings. At f8, the auto-exposure system requires ISO 400 film (up to 12 feet), but slower speed film can be used in manual exposure mode at closer distances. The 121C has a short, built-in PC cord, that's perfect for the Diana Baby 110. Although it looks big on the Diana Baby 110, the 121C turns the camera into an aperture-preferred, auto-exposure LO-FI wonder in any lighting situation. Here it is with the 12mm f8 wide-angle lens.

Looks fun!
 
Very fun! I have a Diana Baby 110, but I've never tried to use a flash with it. I'd be interested to see some of your photos using this combo.
